Yes it having an effect. All teh ambulance chasers with glossy TV ads are being funded by claims against companies and councils. The Councils insurers are Zurich Interbnational and all claims are assessed and dealt with by them in conjunction. I believe there have not been many winning claims against the Council. last time the debate came up I argued for a tough it out policy.
Then there was 9/11 and civic buildings don't come chaep. I think insurances have doubled in 3 years. I would have to check that.
